    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to modified filamentous fungal strains (cells) comprising enhanced protein productivity phenotypes, wherein such modified strains are particularly well-suited for growth in submerged cultures (e.g., large-scale production of proteins for industrial/commercial applications). Thus, certain embodiments of the disclosure are related to such variant (modified) strains of filamentous fungus derived (obtained) from parental strains comprising a gene encoding a native GEF1 protein, wherein the variant strain comprises a genetic modification which disrupts or deletes a gene encoding a native GEF1 protein, wherein the variant strain comprises an increased protein productivity phenotype (i.e., relative to the parental strain) when grown/cultivated/fermented under the same conditions.
